I'm hopeful my first spring ride next year won't make it three in a row!aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-689872777639220238.post-4227886312970362372012-05-24T14:54:52.327-05:002012-05-24T14:54:52.327-05:00"... but I'm too damn old to be hitting t..."... but I'm too damn old to be hitting the ground...." I hear ya. I fell twice a couple of years ago. My 53 year old body (at that time), seemed to take forever to recover.

I'm sorry that happened, it was such a cool ride. But traffic is unpredictable and so is the horse's reaction to it! I may be a baby but, I would have walked that stretch, not wanting to risk it. Roads are precarious at best with horses.<br /><br />I'm very happy you weren't hurt and Koda too.allhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.com
